Reference for Sanhedrin 8:5

בֵּן סוֹרֵר וּמוֹרֶה נִדּוֹן עַל שֵׁם סוֹפוֹ, יָמוּת זַכַּאי וְאַל יָמוּת חַיָּב, שֶׁמִּיתָתָן שֶׁל רְשָׁעִים הֲנָאָה לָהֶן וַהֲנָאָה לָעוֹלָם, וְלַצַּדִּיקִים, רַע לָהֶן וְרַע לָעוֹלָם. יַיִן וְשֵׁנָה לָרְשָׁעִים, הֲנָאָה לָהֶן וַהֲנָאָה לָעוֹלָם, וְלַצַּדִּיקִים, רַע לָהֶן וְרַע לָעוֹלָם. פִּזּוּר לָרְשָׁעִים, הֲנָאָה לָהֶן וַהֲנָאָה לָעוֹלָם, וְלַצַּדִּיקִים, רַע לָהֶן וְרַע לָעוֹלָם. כִּנּוּס לָרְשָׁעִים, רַע לָהֶן וְרַע לָעוֹלָם, וְלַצַּדִּיקִים, הֲנָאָה לָהֶן וַהֲנָאָה לָעוֹלָם. שֶׁקֶט לָרְשָׁעִים, רַע לָהֶן וְרַע לָעוֹלָם, וְלַצַּדִּיקִים, הֲנָאָה לָהֶן וַהֲנָאָה לָעוֹלָם:

A ben sorer umoreh is judged by his end. [In the end he would exhaust his father's money, seek his accustomed fare and not find it, and go out to the crossroads and rob people. The Torah said:] Let him die innocent (of bloodshed), and let him not die guilty. For the death of the wicked is of benefit to them, [for they stop sinning] and of benefit to the world, [leaving it in tranquility]. (The death of) the righteous is evil to them, [for (if they lived longer) they would have added merit], and evil to the world, [for they protected and reproved their generation.] Wine and sleep for the wicked is of benefit to them and of benefit to the world. [For so long as they eat and sleep, they do not sin and they do not harm others.] (Wine and sleep) for the righteous is detrimental to them, [for they do not study Torah], and detrimental to the world. [For when they leave off (studying Torah), punishment comes to the world.] The "scattering" of the wicked [i.e., their being kept apart, so that they cannot counsel and abet each other] is of benefit to them and of benefit to the world. (The scattering) of the righteous is evil for them and evil for the world. The gathering of the wicked is evil for them and evil for the world. (The gathering) of the righteous is of benefit to them and of benefit to the world. The tranquility of the wicked is evil for them and evil for the world. (The tranquility) of the righteous is of benefit to them and of benefit to the world.
